  • The Shun Hiro collection features high-performance Eastern-style knives designed for speed, agility and balance as well as striking beauty. Handcrafted in Japan, this santoku has a compact 5 1/2" blade ideal for precision work and medium-sized cutting tasks.

    • Eastern-inspired design with extremely thin, lightweight blade for fast and agile performance.
    • The blade's core of SG-2 powdered steel is clad on each side with Damascus steel composed of 32 alternating layers of nickel and stainless steel, for a total of 65 layers.
    • SG-2 is an extremely fine-grained, dense and hard steel, which enables it to take and hold an exquisitely fine edge with long-lasting sharpness.
    • The blade's hammered pattern (tsuchime in Japanese) helps it pass easily through food without sticking.
    • Handle is dark charcoal-colored Pakkawood with crimson striations and an inlaid mosaic Samurai family crest.
